RISC-type designs often implement load/store+update as an "addressing mode", where the update part is an arbitrary offset (useful for scanning through small structs). x86 is somewat severely limited in that it can only scan scalars and only using the dedicated registers.
Hell, you can use any RISC-design register like a SP/BP – the day has come that the data content of the stack should be a
@aarnegranlund@mastodon.social AFAICT, economic growth is necessary to support the needs of the finance industry.

We must never let such a thing happen again in America, and and we must strive everywhere to prevent the forced relocation and mass incarceration of innocent people. #NeverForget #NeverAgain
